The Los Angeles Lakers visit the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday in Game 2 of their Western Conference semifinal playoff series, and if you’re wondering how you can watch all the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
Following their 108-90 loss in Game 1 on Tuesday, the Lakers will look to make this series competitive. Defensively, they did a good enough job in Game 1 to give themselves a chance of winning. They held Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who averaged 31.1 points and nine free throw attempts a game during the regular season, to 18 points and three free throw attempts while forcing him into seven turnovers.
However, the Lakers shot just 41.2% from the field and 33.3% from 3-point range, and other than LeBron James and Rui Hachimura, no one scored more than a dozen points or shot above 50% for them.
Thursday’s game could, to a large extent, dictate how tightly contested the rest of this series will be. A win by Los Angeles would give it home-court advantage moving forward, not to mention the momentum. Game 3 will take place at Crypto.com Arena on Saturday, and Game 4 will be played there on Monday.
